Grassroots Fitness Project

I discovered Grassroots Fitness Project through ClassPass in December, and it has quickly become my favorite class that I’ve taken. I especially love Juliet’s strength training express classes– they are so intense and challenging! Juliet pushes you to do your very best, and she gives a lot of attention to correct form. I always appreciate that she spends time with me to help me get each exercise of every set exactly right. The classes are small (I think I’ve never attended one that has had more than five people in it), and I love that the express classes give me a really intense, challenging workout in only 30 minutes.

Love starting my Wednesday mornings off with Juliet! She encourages good form and trying new and different workouts. The classes are small and inviting! Highly recommend!

Great studio with small classes that focus on good form. We’ve primarily taken the early morning express classes (30 min.) and you’re definitely sweating by the end. What a great way to jumpstart your day! Also, Juliet is a fantastic instructor; make sure you try one of her classes.

Use 3x a month as part of ClassPass. Friendly and attentive trainers provide a rigorous but supportive environment that leaves you knowing you had a good workout. I took morning express classes that are quick and get to the point. Whole body exercises that improve your strength for daily activities. Trainers are able to modify to your needs and bring lots of encouragement to every session.

Very down to earth place with a focus on the whole person — exercise, nutrition, and general wellbeing. Would highly recommend to someone looking for a good workout with a personal touch. And as a bonus, I always leave the studio wanting to try something new!

Grassroots fitness is my new favorite studio. Came through class pass and so happy we found it! The classes are so small and personal it’s like you’re getting your own personal trainer. I’ve done the 30 minute express classes with Chelsea and Juliette and was sweating from the first minute and sore for days. My kind of class.

I love this place. Small classes, great attention to form, and it is an awesome community (both instructors and clients). Classes are small enough that instructors make modifications based on your level — I always leave challenged and motivated. I have been coming here through Classpass and it has quickly become my favorite workout in the city. Will definitely go outside of Classpass.

This place is a gem! Classes are small, so the instructor will give you lots of personalized attention. It’s really transformed my form, and I sweat a lot more as a result! So happy that I found it.

Grassroots Fitness has literally transformed our lives — no exaggeration!!! The team is extremely knowledgeable and supports each individual in achieving their own individual goals appropriate for their level. They have built a supportive, safe environment that encourages healthy living and exploring beyond your comfort zone. They also organize special activities — rock climbing in New Paltz, flying trapeze in Manhattan, guest lecturers on healthy eating, etc.
My son started going 7 years ago (at 12 years old), the rest of us followed suit and now the whole family (husband, son, daughter, and me) regularly attends classes. We are each physically and emotionally stronger and healthier because of them!
I feel so fortunate to have found such a motivating, inspiring team. I highly recommend them!

I’ve been going to Grassroots for over four years now — it is a wonderful place and Heather, Wil and Chelsea are exceptional trainers/​teachers. When I started I was overweight and out of shape, but it didn’t take that long to feel inspired to make some significant changes in my life. I am definitely in way better physical shape then I have ever been and feel much better about my body and myself since I started training with these guys. The classes are hard, but you always feel you are being pushed for a reason, and the routine changes all the time so I never get bored. The other clients I have met in the small group classes are friendly and supportive and there is a very non judgmental atmosphere in the studio that I know made me feel quickly at ease. I have recommended Grassroots to many many people because I love it so much and have learned so much about fitness and health from Heather and Wil. It really is a special special place.

The fitness training at Grassroots is smart, focused on my individual goals and fun. Grassroots has helped me to reach fitness goals but also gives me great support and encouragement in overall wellness. I also send my kids to them for training and rock climbing. The excellence and high level of care at Grassroots is what makes them special and I am grateful to have found them!

The stars are no exaggeration. Grassroots Fitness Project is the way to go if you want to get completely fit, and approach your fitness goals in a holistic, healthy way. This is more than a gym — it is a family of likeminded people who care about living life well. Our entire family has been training at GRFP for years. Our kids love the challenge of rock climbing and yoga. The personalized attention can be found nowhere else. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and experienced and caring. They are superb role models and excellent teachers. We are diehard GRFP fans!

I quit the gym and train with GRFP exclusively. Class size is small (4 – 6) which means individual attention — the trainers set the tone with their ever expanding fitness knowledge and by personally seeking to be fit from the inside out. It is a supportive environment and mindful of all fitness levels. They use the local parks for outdoor workouts and organize group rock climbing trips too. I highly recommend giving GRFP a try — they teach fitness but the lessons learned are not just physical. They care about their clients!

I’ve been going to Grass Roots for about a year and a half, starting with personal training and moving to small-​class circuit training. I really love it – not only do the proprietors, Will and Heather, know what they’re doing, but they’re really warm people who foster an atmosphere that makes you want to work hard and keep coming back. I used to run and swim on my own, but to be honest, I didn’t know what fitness was until I started coming to Grass Roots (and I’m still learning!). One of the nicest features of their classes is that they constantly vary their exercise routines, so you never get in a rut and you’re always working different parts of your body. They use simple equipment, and a lot of exercises using your own body weight, which I like a lot better than weight machines that isolate specific muscles. Highly recommended!
